Abstract

L'invention concerne un boîtier de module optique (11), comprenant un corps de boîtier (110) et une couche de gaine (120), la couche de gaine (120) étant située sur la surface du corps de boîtier (110) ; et au moins dans une zone de contact (11a), la rugosité Ra de la couche de gaine (120) ne dépassant pas 0,6 µm, et la zone de contact (11a) étant une zone, qui est utilisée pour venir en contact avec un radiateur (30), du boîtier de module optique (11). La rugosité Ra de la couche de gaine (120) dans la zone de contact (11a) est réglée pour ne pas dépasser 0,6 µm, de telle sorte que lorsqu'un module optique (10) est connecté à un connecteur de module optique (20), un espace entre la zone de contact (11a) du boîtier de module optique (11) et le radiateur (30) est plus petit, réduisant ainsi la résistance thermique de contact, facilitant l'échange de chaleur entre le boîtier de module optique (11) et le radiateur (30) et l'accélération de la dissipation de chaleur à partir du module optique (10), et empêchant ainsi la température du module optique (10) d'être trop élevée. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé de fabrication d'un boîtier de module optique, et un module optique (10) et un dispositif de communication optique.
